Overheard in Castle Towers this lunchtime . . 40 something mother speaking to a 8-10 year old outside a cafe:
"Darling this one will be fine! Of course they sell double skim chai latte!"
Heard a few weeks prior, same age groups at Blacktown Westfield on escalator:
"Shuttup Kylie and drink yer fuckin' Coke before I belt ya!"

Scary isn't it. 5km.
Baino if you were in Dublin you would need an interpreter to translate the same snippet of conversation; it would be twice as long as every second word would begin with F!
I find it amazing that parents allow their kids to drink coffee. then again I find it amazing how some parents allow their kids to act in public.
Baino Daa-ling
Grannymar's right as always.
If you were in Dublin you would have heard... "Would youse shut the f*ck up, Jacinta and f*ckin' drink yer f*ckin' Coke before I f*ckin' kill youse!"
But we've plenty of the SUV brigade as well!
That's what you get from a nation of convicts ...
Ryan: Yep! But you know it's true! The kid asking for a Chai Latte was yesterday .. I couldn't believe my ears, she was protesting because she thought the cafe next to the old cinemas didn't sell them and mummy was trying to convince her otherwise.
GM: I can't understand what half the Irish say anyway so the expletives are probably all I'd recognise. And I thought Dublin was a nice place to visit!
Brianf: Welcome back. Well they're allowed to drink Coke an Pepsi, what's the difference?
Steph: Thanks for explaining . . .now it's PERFECTLY clear!
Anonymous: Pffft. Enough of the Mongrel Convict theory. That was a long time ago. More a sign of polarising social inequality.
Um none of you found it amazing that an 8 year old knows what a double skim chai latte is? I think I found that more disturbing!
What is a double whatsit latte anyway? Why can't people just drink decent coffee and forget the fancy names?
Or as they'd say in Dublin...
What the f*ck is it then, youse f*ckin' smart arse? :-D
Yeah you hear these fools in the Bagel Factory or Insomnia muttering stuff about tall skinny mochiattos and stuff like that.
Just give me a Miller any day.
I can only imagine "double skim" has something to do with WEIGHT LOSS!?! My kids get told there is plenty to drink in the fridge at home HAHA.
Best one I ever heard in Dublin - sorry if I blogged it already - was a skanger mother bellowing up the street after her feral twins. "He-urrrr! Dolce and Gabb-a-naaaaaaa, come back he-urrrrrr yis litt-el fuckers yis!"
Oh dear.
